Business as usual is the standard approach right??!
Use less water. What do they mean ‘No one has a solution’?
So far the solutions Trump has tried have been “dump a bunch of water unexpectedly and unnecessarily” and “freeze the funds used by the state to try to manage the water appropriately.”
Neither are as creative as Iran arresting their water conservation scientist for dancing, but it’s a similar playbook.
Stop growing tropical/sub-tropical crops in the desert?
Maybe don’t grow all of Saudi Arabia’s alfalfa in the desert but hey what do I know
It is USA water and should be used to feed the USA and not to supply other countries with luxury goods. Hay for horses and cows is not a sustainable choice for this water.
Put a tariff on foreign water so American businesses can produce more water in the US.
